foreign policy for decades which many acknowledge they have, how is this different? >> targeted killings have not been part of the u.s. policy for decades. they were engaged in up until the 70s, the congress stepped up and president ford put a ban in place and they only reappeared after 9/11 because of the threat we now find ourselves in. so they're not something that we are used to doing. we are used to killing people in war, but weir not used to sending secret operatives or secret drones around the world, naming an individual person and deciding he's worthy of death and killing him. that is new and post-9/11 stuff and president obama is the person who upped the ante on this. >> what happens when another nation acquires and uses the same drone technology that we've been talking about and they exercise little to no restraint? >> you don't need a drone. all you need is a rifle. this is the sort of policy that you can apply to any sort of situation. the technology is the secondary question and once you decide that you can kill people for whatever reasons you like inclu

>> well, craig, if the end of this week was focused on the president's foreign policy, i think you'll see the president shift his focus back to domestic policy this week. the main issue he wants to be talking about, the economy, the unemployment rate is at 7.5%, and at this point most economists agree that they are seeing a recovery albeit a slow one. so in recent weeks, we've seen president obama travel to highlight places where the economy is surging and where people and businesses are thriving. at this point in time, nothing on his schedule to do that, but wednesday and thursday he travels to chicago where he will speak at some dcc fundraising events, so i wouldn't be surprised if he not only highlights that in his remarks but finds a time along that stop to stop and highlight with some folks how the economy is improving in that area. now, of course, again, nothing on the schedule, so if he doesn't do it there, he might hold an event later on this week. so is, of course, what the republicans want to be talking about, not the economy but those controversies that we have spent so muc
